  • Zaufanie Do Polityków W Kwietniu
    Warszawa, kwiecień 2013 BS/53/2013 ZAUFANIE DO POLITYKÓW W KWIETNIU Znak jakości przyznany CBOS przez Organizację Firm Badania Opinii i Rynku 11 stycznia 2013 roku Fundacja Centrum Badania Opinii Społecznej ul. Żurawia 4a, 00-503 Warszawa e-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] http://www.cbos.pl (48 22) 629 35 69 Największym zaufaniem Polaków niezmiennie cieszy się prezydent Bronisław Komorowski. W kwietniu1 zaufanie do głowy państwa zadeklarowało 70% ankietowanych, a więc dokładnie tyle samo, co w dwóch poprzednich miesiącach. Na dobrą pamięć Polaków zasłużył, jak się okazuje, były prezydent Aleksander Kwaśniewski, który po wieloletniej przerwie ponownie włączył się w nurt bieżącej polityki, patronując lewicowej inicjatywie Europa Plus. Według deklaracji uzyskanych w pierwszej dekadzie kwietnia 2013 roku, Aleksandrowi Kwaśniewskiemu ufa 54% ankietowanych. Zaufanie do pozostałych osób aktywnych na scenie politycznej kształtuje się na znacznie niższym poziomie. Niezmiennie zaliczający się do ścisłej czołówki naszego rankingu Ryszard Kalisz oraz najlepiej oceniany spośród przedstawicieli rządzącej koalicji szef MSZ Radosław Sikorski cieszą się zaufaniem mniej niż połowy badanych. Wykluczonemu ostatnio z SLD Ryszardowi Kaliszowi ufa 46% respondentów, nieco mniej osób (43%) deklaruje zaufanie do szefa polskiej dyplomacji. Kolejne miejsca na liście najczęściej obdarzanych zaufaniem polityków zajmują: lider SLD Leszek Miller (36%), wiceprzewodniczący PO Grzegorz Schetyna (35%), premier Donald Tusk i przewodniczący Solidarnej Polski Zbigniew Ziobro (po 34% deklaracji zaufania) oraz prezes PiS Jarosław Kaczyński (33%). Nieco rzadziej z zaufaniem respondentów spotykają się inni prominentni politycy rządzącej koalicji: minister sprawiedliwości Jarosław Gowin (31%), marszałek Sejmu Ewa Kopacz (30%) oraz szef PSL, wicepremier i minister gospodarki Janusz Piechociński (28%). Prawie jedna czwarta badanych ufa liderowi NSZZ „Solidarność” Piotrowi Dudzie (24%) i niemal tyle samo (23%) deklaruje zaufanie do szefa sejmowego zespołu ds.

  • In Annual Speeches of the Republic of Poland Ministers of Foreign Affairs After 2001
    Przegląd Strategiczny 2017, nr 10 Piotr POCHYŁY DOI : 10.14746/ps.2017.1.12 University of Zielona Góra THE CONCEPT OF “SECURITY” IN ANNUAL SPEECHES OF THE REPUBLIC OF POLAND MINISTERS OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS AFTER 2001 The purpose of the publication is to present how the concept of security has been de- fined in annual speeches of Poland’s foreign ministers after the 9/11 attacks in 2001. Research problem: the impact of the international situation on ways of ensuring Po- land’s security in the annual speeches of Polish foreign ministers. Apart from the as- pect of classically understood security, the analysis also covers modern categories of security that is economic, public, ecological, energy or food security. The temporal range is from 2001 to 2017. Following the definition in the Polish Language Diction- ary published by PWN I define “security” as “the state of non-threat” (Bezpieczeństwo, 2017). * * * Every year foreign ministers of Poland give their annual speeches – officially known as the Information of the Foreign Minister on the goals of foreign policy, in which they define priorities, characterize challenges, and present corrections to the policy. Sometimes it is just an ordinary fulfilment of the obligation, which does not provoke greater conflicts or reflections and is presented in the nearly empty hall, but since 2010, after the plane crash near Smolensk, there have been very exciting debates connected with disputes in the Parliament (speeches given by Radosław Sikorski between 2011–2014), also in connection to responsibility for state security. The speeches which were urgent responses to events in the world (Sikorski, 2014) and the ones that were given when new governments came to power: (Cimoszewicz, 2002; Meller, 2006; Sikorski, 2008; Sikorski, 2012; Waszczykowski, 2016) will be particularly relevant to the search for answers to the research problem because apart from presenting current issues the ministers were obliged to discuss four-year for- eign policy assumptions.

    UNIVERSITY OF WARSAW FACULTY OF ECONOMIC SCIENCES Working Papers No. 7/2021 (355) PERSUASIVE MESSAGES WILL NOT RAISE COVID-19 VACCINE ACCEPTANCE. EVIDENCE FROM A NATION-WIDE ONLINE EXPERIMENT RAMAN KACHURKA MICHAŁ W. KRAWCZYK JOANNA RACHUBIK Warsaw 2021 WORKING PAPERS 7/2021 (355) Persuasive messages will not raise COVID-19 vaccine acceptance. Evidence from a nation-wide online experiment Raman Kachurka, Michał W. Krawczyk, Joanna Rachubik University of Warsaw, Faculty of Economic Sciences Corresponding authors: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract: Although mass vaccination is the best way out of the pandemic, the share of sceptics is very substantial in most countries. Social campaigns can emphasize the many arguments that potentially raise acceptance for vaccines: e.g., that they have been developed, tested, and recommended by doctors and scientists; that they are safe, effective and in demand. We verified the effectiveness of such messages in an online experiment conducted in February and March 2021 with a sample of almost six thousand adult Poles, which was nationally representative in terms of key demographic variables. We presented responders with different sets of information about vaccination against COVID-19. After reading the information bundle, they indicated whether they would be willing to be vaccinated. We also asked them to justify their answers and indicate who or what might change their opinion. Finally, we elicited a number of individual characteristics and opinions. We found that nearly 45% of the responders were unwilling to be vaccinated and none of the popular messages we used was effective in reducing this hesitancy.

  • In the Shadow of Plagues:2020 Presidential Elections in Poland
    DOI : 10.14746/pp.2021.26.2.3 Piotr SULA University of Wrocław ORCID ID: 0000-0001-5377-5684 Małgorzata MADEJ University of Wrocław ORCID ID: 0000-0002-5274-8614 Kamil BŁASZCZYŃSKI University of Wrocław ORCID ID: 0000-0003-4896-8371 In the shadow of plagues:2020 presidential elections in Poland Abstract: Presidential elections in Poland have always drawn more voters to the ballot box than par- liamentary ones. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, the turnout in the 2020 presidential elections was the second-highest since 1989. The glib answer might be that voters were simply availing themselves of the opportunity to leave the house, however briefly, since COVID-19 measures had largely confined people to their homes for most of the year. More likely, albeit paradoxically, heightened voter interest was triggered by political autocratisation, the other plague that Poles have been struggling with, in this case since 2015. The election was won by the incumbent, Andrzej Duda, whose advantage was credited to his appeal among less-educated and older people living in rural areas. In the end, the governing Law and Justice (PiS) party, which had backed Duda’s campaign, managed to avoid cohabitation-related inconvenience for the second time. Key words: Presidential elections, voting behaviour, autocratisation, pandemic, Poland Introduction residential elections in semi-presidential systems seem to be as important as par- Pliamentary ones. This claim is grounded on the observations that all political par- ties invest their effort and resources to win these elections and that citizens tend to vote for a candidate for head of state more often than for prospective deputies.

He has an MA in International Affairs from GW’s Elliott School of International Affairs with a specialization in U.S. Foreign Policy and Eurasian Politics. His work has focused particularly on regional politics and security in Eurasia as well as the use of social media to manipulate and spread information for political influence. He has previously worked at the Center for European Policy Analysis (CEPA) and at the Atlantic Council's Digital Forensics Research Lab (DFRLab). Note: Parler’s role as a hub for far-right and conspiratorial networks has most recently come to light due to the platform’s role in enabling these groups to radicalize individuals and organize for action.
